Just accidently found  Bob  Snyder  "on the net"   rang him up and had  a nice  "landline"  QSO  today.    My memory  has  "lost" some of you.   I arrived  in fall of 68,  don't recall exactly when I left,  end of summer  of 69?   I was  flopping around base after graduation  as there  was a delay in the start of GCA school,  Glynco GA   69--70

I was sent to NAS  Miramar,  spring  of '70,  supposed to be 2 years  but got extended  (Navy was broke)  at the 2 year mark  and ended up  ending my  enlistment  at Miramar,  spring of 74.  School was   AN/FPN-36  QUAD RADAR,  and the old AN/CPN-4  GCA.  At Miramar  we had  a brand new  FPN-52  which I helped install.   The precision  RADAR  section  only  of the  CPN-4  with some updates


Bob and I managed to remember some of you

I vaguely  remember  Rick Olsen  from  the  "back of his head"

I haven't checked  last few  months, but  George Burton, K7WWA  was  still kickin' last I knew.  I've spoken with him on the phone

Anybody recall,  I think his name  was  "Guy"  and lived  locally,  like, maybe,  San Mateo or Cupertino?

Larry Hinton  from Portland area?  Still around?   


Don't look for me on QRZ,  "I ain't there"  LOL
